It didn’t take us long to find another cause to get behind. Let’s help SB18 gain passage! SB18 requires employers with more than 15 employees to make reasonable accommodations for pregnant workers, including providing a space that is NOT a bathroom for expressing milk.

The General Assembly will reconvene on March 28th. We will have that ONE day to get this bill passed. The good news is that we have time to put on the pressure. Let’s start now.

A list of emails will be in the comments. Feel free to email Representatives and let them know this bill is important to you.
